The parent who is accused of physically assaulting the principal of Mary E. Pigott School on Wednesday of this week has been charged.
Police have charged Michael Samuel of Bathlodge with Battery and Malicious Damage. He is expected to appear in court next Monday.
Samuel allegedly hit the principal, Father Christopher Roberts in the head from behind, before hitting him several more times during an incident on the school compound which shocked teachers and students.
He had reportedly gone to the school over concerns about punishment meted out to his child.
Education Minister, Hon. Daryll Matthew had deplored the attack on the teacher, during his contribution to the Budget Debate in Parliament’s Lower House on Friday.
